I have been fortunate enough to live in some remote countryside locations around the world with access to the woods, lakes, streams, ocean, mountains, and to enjoy the sounds and sights of nature.
My maternal grandmother was a botanist and my mother a chef~ It was only natural for me to become a combination of both, functioning now as a combination of science educator/biologist/and chef.
My journey to herbalism truly began during my Master's program, researching abroad and living in the remote Amazon rainforest at Reserva Ecologica Chontachaka in Qosñipata Valley, Manu Biosphere Reserve, Peru. I wrote my thesis on Medicinal Properties of Edible Amazonian Plants and had the privilege of learning from a local shaman the identification, application and uses of a multitude of indigenous plants (many of which are still unknown in the scientific community, with no classification and latin naming).
For whatever interest or reason that you have in learning herbalism and natural health remedies, I share with you a beginner's guide with some simple and affordable basic health remedies and recipes that are effective and can easily be made at home. We are not covering remedies for serious, long-term illnesses, but rather to show you how to make your own teas, tinctures, and topicals for everyday healing.
